Calmes was indicted by a federal grand jury in December 2011
with conspiracy to commit money laundering, money laundering, and structuring
transactions in order to evade reporting requirements.

The indictment alleged from January 2000 through April 2007
Calmes conspired with several people to launder proceeds from narcotics
trafficking and avoided filing reports of their receipt of cash greater than
$10,000.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says the Bank Secrecy Act
requires business, including motor vehicle dealerships which are prone to money
laundering, to file and report certain financial transactions indicative of
money laundering, including cash transactions over $10,000.

"This is a very serious case involving federal laws designed
to prevent criminals, and those who assist them, from enjoying their illegal
drug profits," said U.S. Attorney Donald Cazayoux last December.
